What kind of face mask will best protect you against coronavirus?

Your questions answered on what type of mask to wear to cut the risk of getting Covid-19

Yes. Different types of mask offer different levels of protection. Surgical grade N95 respirators offer the highest level of protection, preventing the user from becoming infected with Covid-19, followed by surgical grade masks. However, these masks are costly, in limited supply, contribute to landfill waste and are uncomfortable to wear for long periods. So even countries that have required the public to wear face masks have generally suggested such masks should be reserved for health workers or those at particularly high risk.

Addressing the nation in a speech as he presided over Victory Day celebrations, a sombre Putin invoked the memory of the country’s veterans who fought in the second world war.

We are united by our shared memory, hopes and aspirations, as well as a sense of shared responsibility for the present and the future. We know and strongly believe that when we stand together, we are invincible.”

Trees Cocooned in Spiders Webs Were Spotted After The Massive Floods In Pakistan

The floods that submerged one-fifth of Pakistan's territory took more than six months to recede.

One of the most affected regions was the Sindh region, located in the western corner of South Asia. 

At their peak, the floodwaters were up to 20 feet deep. About 20 million people were displaced.

But apparently, people were not the only ones seeking shelter from the devastating floods. 

One of the unexpected side-effects of the flooding has been that millions of spiders climbed up into the trees to escape the rising floodwaters, turning them into futuristic-looking trees cocooned in spiders' webs.

The people living in that area claimed they have never seen this phenomenon before but were glad to discover that those cocooned trees were actually significantly reducing the numbers of mosquitos and thereby, the risk of malaria. 

It is thought that the mosquitoes were getting caught in the spiders' webs which would be one blessing for the people of the area, facing so many other hardships after the floods. 

Check out some of the stunning photos, released by the department of international development.

Im a mess tonight

I've calmed down now but tonight I've been such a wreck.

I was crying and upset because I felt like everyone I cared about would leave me and never talk to me again so I felt like I would need to do something drastic and reckless and self destructive. But I was good and I stayed safe. I was so frantically anxious but now that I've calmed down I'm kinda just depressed and sad and I miss letting my eating disorder take the reigns. Like even when I was in the hospital with a fucking feeding tube I feel like I was so much safer. I had an outlet to my issues and that outlet was not eating and I'm hungry now and that just reminds me of how much I miss it.

I still feel really alone and I didn't sort my meds for tonight or the rest of the week so I need to do that and I need to go to the pharmacy to pick up the rest of my meds and I need to put air in my tires and I just feel so overwhelmed and out of control right now.

For now I'm just going to try to go to sleep.
